Nasi Lemak Business

While I was blogging a few nights ago, suddenly I smell Nasi Lemak wrapped in banana leaf. Well this is not just any kind of Nasi Lemak. This particular Nasi Lemak is sold by a Malay family near the beach. The price is $1 a packet. To me this is the best Nasi Lemak in Melaka. I introduced this Nasi Lemak to all my in laws when they came back for the holiday, all of them love it. Unfortunately, the Nasi Lemak is only sold in the morning for breakfast and the supply is really limited. Most of the time, by 8am, they are sold out. So I make sure that I reach their stall by 7.30am when I crave for their Nasi Lemak.

Since this is the fasting month, I can only get the taste of this Nasi Lemak after the Hari Raya. I wonder when they will start selling them.

If I were them and I know that my Nasi Lemak is so saleable, I would have produce them in bigger scale and commercialise them. And I could even brand the Nasi Lemak so that when others think of Nasi Lemak, they will remember the brand name. Its like when someone wants to eat fried chicken, they will say, I want to eat KFC and burger; McDonald or Burger King.
